I would question that statement. If I were you I’d check up on their calculator you have available and see how it’ll actually effect you. Chances are, since 240s don’t really have large engines (therefore not using a ton of gas), it shouldn’t be a problem.

I’d also point to other political parties for coming up with some of the current street racing laws which don’t _really_ address any actual road safety issues, and are merely done to look good and get re-elected.
